Sir Victor Uwaifo wants those saying he should retire from music to bury the thoughts as the veteran musician has said he isn’t about to go the way of retirement anytime soon. The 74-year-old instrumentalist made this known during a chat with entertainment journalists in Lagos while stating that it’s insulting to ask him when he’s going to quit music.
‘At 74, I am just stating, I will soon be 75 but I intend doing this till I’m 90 or even more. It is even offensive asking me if I would retire soon,’ he said. Speaking further, the ‘Joromi’ singer said: ‘I was 12 when I started stringing the guitar because I discovered music quite early.
Although my parents were not comfortable with me doing music because they wanted me to focus on my studies. I however believe when you discover your talent doesn’t matter but (it’s) how you are able to utilise.’ The legendary musician is gearing up for the Eargasm Concert coming up at the Thisday Dome in Abuja on Sunday, July 26, 2015. He will join 2face, Shina Peters, Niyola and Dammy Krane at the event.
